Mr. Freihammer thought that was an omission and should be added to the report. <br />Member Trainor asked if that figure only defines what the City has to work with <br />for maintenance projects and is not the fund that is affecting the loss of the <br />interest earnings. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated that was correct. <br />Mr. Freihammer reviewed the City Recycling Operations with the Commission. <br />Member Wozniak asked if Mr. Freihammer recalled what the City was paying for <br />recycling in parks. <br />Mr. Freihammer stated he could check on that because he did not recall. <br />Mr. Freihammer recapped the report with the Commission. He noted water usage <br />history shows the usage decreasing. He also reviewed water fee comparisons of <br />Roseville with other cities comparable in size. <br />Member Wozniak stated he would like to know how the cities compare in terms <br />of what type of action and how much money the cities are spending on <br />maintaining infrastructure. <br />Mr. Freihammer stated that may be a little harder to get but he thought staff could <br />reach out to a few of these cities to see how much money the cities are putting <br />back into their systems. <br />Member Wozniak stated he would like to see where Roseville sits in that <br />spectrum. He wondered if the City was more aggressive in that regard in terms of <br />addressing I and I and sewer lining to replace infrastructure. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated staff will try to see if data like that could be collected. <br />He thought in regard to the sanitary sewer Roseville is a little more aggressive <br />than most cities that are comparable. <br />Mr. Sandstrom stated he did know that Golden Valley has a very low base rate but <br />most of the fees is the consumption rate that has to increase quite a bit lately with <br />the subgrades going down. Their rate is mostly consumption and Golden Valley <br />has to find more creative ways to also fund the water utility because most of their <br />income is consumption based which his trending down. <br />Mr. Freihammer continued recapping the city comparison charts with the <br />Commission. <br />Chair Cihacek asked how Minneapolis compares to St. Paul for water service. <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />
